Source: The News (Frederick, MD) Wednesday, November 17, 1920 ************************** Mrs. EDITH HIGHTMAN, 25 years old, wife of Arthur Hightman, a young farmer, residing a shorty distance north of Middletown, was so badly burned Monday while making a fire with coal oil that she died shortly after 3 o'clock. Mr. Hightman returned home from making some purchases in town and called to his wife to open the door for him. She feebly replied that she could not. Upon entering the dining room she was found lying on the floor badly burned. She was only semiconscious. Smelling moke Mr. Highman ran up stairs and found a room on fire. Mrs. Hightman, after her clothes ignited, rushed up stairs and jumped in bed and tried to smother the flames with the bed clothing, it is believed. Her baby was found sitting in a chair in the dining room. There was no one else in the house. Source: Daily Mail (Hagerstown, MD) November 17, 1920 ************************
